These guys from the band LANCO are way more polished than some of the bigger Country Groups that I’ve seen in the last few years! Are they ready to headline a stadium tour? No, they still need more experience and they also need more original music than their one Album Hallelujah Nights. Now, are they ready […] More

If you thought Bro-Country was dead, think again. Cole Swindell hit the stage at The Armory Thursday bringing Lauren Alaina and Dustin Lynch in support. Lauren Alaina kicked off the night starting out with a mix of Queen and her hit song “Georgia Peaches“. Alaina has a great stage presence to go along with that beautiful […] More

British Rock Star and Heartthrob(still) Rod Stewart made his way to the Xcel Energy Center making good on the previous postponed show. Bringing Cyndi Lauper with as his Special Guest. Cyndi Lauper started out the night! You either loved or hated Cyndi’s Show tonight. As usual, her show was Political. If you didn’t know that […] More

I’ve been trying to see Cody Jinks for a few years now, I finally got that chance at the Iconic First Ave. Cody hit First Ave this time for the second of his back-to-back sellouts. That’s not exactly an easy task to do, especially considering day 2 fell on a Sunday. Warming up the audience(that […] More

This scheduled outdoor concert quickly turned into a chaotic indoor concert! You either found out by a huge sign in the parking lot when you arrived or by following Treasure Island via Social Media. A post earlier in the day let ticket holders know that The Judas Priest and Deep Purple concert was moved indoors. Sardines! That […] More

The good news: We got a third day full of 80’s rock for Grand Casino‘s Grand Rocktember Fest. The bad news: Well, a couple of things. First, they scheduled day 1 on a Thursday and it’s hard to get people to show up for a Thursday concert, especially with an early 4:00 PM start time. […] More

I listened to a couple people complain that if you wanted to listen to music at the Minnesota State Fair you would need to spend some good money to get inside the Grandstand. Granted, the bigger acts and, even more important, the pricier national acts, are there if you wish to spend the money. I […] More

5 years later and it’s still the same. The songs, the charisma and definitely the energy! The Sugarland Duo brought their Country-Arena Rock Show to the Minnesota State Fair and they brought a couple of friends in Lindsay Ell and Frankie Ballard along for the ride. Lindsay Ell fits the bill perfectly on a Sugarland […] More

We got to Route 47 Pub and Grub about 90 minutes before the first band was due onstage. If you have ever been to this place, then you know if you want a table for the night you’d better get there early. A little food (by the way, the burgers were excellent) and partaking in […] More

The Weesner Family Amphitheater filled quickly as fans waited for Joe Jackson to come on. Sold Out? You might say that. How about- even the standing room was sold out. On this rare occasion, Joe Jackson actually had an opening act. Enter Faith Boblett and her Acoustic Guitar. This young lady held her own, playing […] More

Pop Evil started the night out warming the crowd up for Nickelback. I can’t say that I knew too much about this band, knowing only a couple of songs. They gave the audience something headliners Nickelback didn’t, and that’s music that was a little on the harder side. It was a great way to start […] More

The day started out slow (I’m not talking music-wise). Fans slowly crept in as the day wore on. They missed some great music as Quiet Riot, Great White, and Lita Ford hit the stage before a large portion of the crowd showed up to witness the last two acts: Tom Keifer of Cinderella and Vince […] More
